How to play Dracula Says - a Simon Says Game.
Choose a player to be Dracula and give them the bowl, or bag, for drawing the cards. If you have a cape for them to wear even better. All other players should gather in a circle.
Dracula should draw a card one at a time from the bowl, reading the command aloud to the group. For the most fun and to add some confusion, cards are best when read in quick succession. Players must only obey the command when it starts with the phrase ‘Dracula says’.
If you follow a command that doesn’t begin with ‘Dracula says’ you are out of the game.
Be careful - there are some cards where other characters may give you instructions! You should only listen to Dracula!
